Drew Mississippi Online Driver Education and Drew Mississippi Licensing Procedures
Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit or first Drew Mississippi Driver's license. Drew Mississippi has a Graduated Driver License Program for Drew Mississippi teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your first Drew Mississippi driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.
Drew Mississippi Instructional Permit and Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit
The minimum age to apply for a Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit is 14 and a half, but this permit will only allow you to practice as part of a Drew Mississippi approved driver education program. At 15, you can apply for a regular old Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit. You'll need the following:
- Application with notarized signatures from both your parents/guardians
- Social Security Card or printout from the Social Security Administration
- State-issued copy of your birth certificate (hospital certificates NOT acceptable)
- Signed Certificate of School Attendance
- $4 fee (cash only)
Bring these materials to your local Drew Mississippi Driver Service center. Then you'll have to pass the required vision and written tests. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Drew Mississippi Instruction Permit.
Remember that with your Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Drew Mississippi teen drivers are prohibited from using a cell phone to receive or send text messages while driving. Also, every passenger in your car must have their seatbelt fastened. After you've had your Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit for 6 months to 1 year (the official Drew Mississippi Department of Public Safety website gives conflicting wait periods), you'll be ready for the next step in the Drew Mississippi Graduated License Program.
The Drew Mississippi Intermediate License and Drew Mississippi Full License
In order to apply for your Drew Mississippi Provisional driver's license, you'll need to make sure you follow a few Drew Mississippi State requirements before heading down to your local Drew Mississippi Driver service Center:
- Hold your Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit for at least 6 months - 1 year without incident
- Bring the same information as for the Drew Mississippi Learner's Permit
- $6 fee (cash only)
If you've completed these requirements, head on down to your local Drew Mississippi Driver Service Center, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Drew Mississippi Intermediate License application. Then you'll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Drew Mississippi Intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being.
